Wearing dark glasses and using a cane, Adrian Gruszka, from Adelaide in Australia, approached passersby to ask them if they had change for a $5. But when he pulled the note from his pocket, he presented them with a $50 note instead.

Incredibly, many of the people in the video did not tell him about his mistake, a video of the experiment seems to show. They gave him change for $5 and walked away with his $50, as Adrian stood in disbelief.

Before the experiment, he never expected that to happen, he told INSIDE EDITION.

"We literally went into filming this thinking, 'cool, this will be a interesting video to shoot, let's see what kind of reactions we can get.' It did not cross my mind that I'd actually capture somebody stealing the $50," he said.

"They should just do the right thing, and hopefully with them watching this they may think twice before ripping someone off," he said, addeding: "Even if they think, 'Hmm, this may be one of those experiment videos so I'll be better off doing the right thing.'"
